This is a drawing of a dog sitting in a landscape with a barren tree. The sepia-toned drawing portrays a dog seated calmly on the ground with its tongue out. The dog appears muscular and alert, sitting close to another animal lying on the ground. In the background, there are hills and bushes, and to the right, a leafless tree.
